I am on Natty 11.04.

I have been noticing that upon wake-up from a long inactivity, the screen is not responding to any keystrokes. The mouse is moving though.

This is happening when I am on AC power. The power settings for on AC power are :

  • Put computer to sleep ... = Never
  • When laptop lid is closed = Suspend (The issue happened when laptop is open and screensaver is ON)
  • Put display to sleep when inactive for = 0:15
  • Display brightness is 100% and Dim display option is not selected.

Not sure why this is happening. Need your help please to understand the problem and correct it.

  • This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and [as such](http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/1317/what-to-do-with-questions-that-describe-known-bugs/) is off-topic, thanks!

This issue is being tracked on Bug #762918, there seems to be some tricks that reduce the probability of getting screen freezes:

  1. Install kernel 2.6.39 or superior
  2. Disable sync to v_blank using compizconfig-setting-managerinstall ccsm (its on General -> OpenGL)
  3. Add pcie_aspm=force to the boot options. This should also lower power usage.
    • gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
    • Add pcie_aspm=force in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
    • Run sudo update-grub and reboot.

  • Sorry for my delayed response. Thanks for your suggestion. I am yet to reproduce this issue in 11.10 as yet. So I think this issue is solved for me. – Arindom Oct 26 '11 at 04:26

This might be a duplicate of Segio's answer, but I find the discussion more relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/781402

I disabled sync to v_blank and it seems to have fixed it for me.

I would have posted this in a comment, but I don't have enough rep yet.
